Visit Bermuda’s Beautiful Pink Beaches
Bermuda’s pink beaches are famous worldwide, and for good reason. The soft, blush-tinted sand, created by crushed coral and shells, offers a striking contrast to the turquoise water. But where should you go to soak in the best sights… and to relax, of course!
- Horseshoe Bay Beach: The most famous of them all, this crescent-shaped gem is perfect for swimming, sunbathing, and capturing postcard-worthy photos.
- Elbow Beach: Slightly less crowded, this beach is ideal for snorkeling or simply soaking in the peaceful ambiance.
- Jobson’s Cove: A small, secluded spot framed by rocky cliffs, offering calm, shallow waters perfect for families or anyone seeking tranquility.

Stroll the Historic Cobblestone Streets of St. George’s Town
Step back in time in the historic town of St. George’s, Bermuda’s former capital and a UNESCO World Heritage Site that feels like a living museum.
